[MD] Buddhism's s/o

[MarshaV]

From Anthony McWatts excellant 'MOQ Textbook':  

Pirsig (2000c) states that the Buddhist term ‘nothingness’ is a synonym for ‘Quality’.  
In the MOQ, Quality is defined as equal to Buddhist nothingness. This definition is 
an original contribution of the MOQ. When it is employed, it appears that the famous 
‘East-West Problem’ of philosophy may be solved. The narrative in ZMM makes it 
clear this definition was not arrived at whimsically, or without intense personal 
questioning and reasoning that almost had tragic results.
 


Buddhist nothingness is Buddhist emptiness.
